Here are my ideas for this week’s sharing time. I may vary a bit, but I think this is pretty well it:

Come Follow Me: Jr Primary

1)Review the pathway from week 2.

a)Who made it possible to get back to Heavenly Father?

b)How did they follow Jesus Christ in the last week?

c)What are some other ways you can follow Jesus Christ.

2)Read Matthew 4:18-22

18 ¶And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they werefishers.

19 And he saith unto them,Follow me, and I will make youfishers of men.

20 And they straightway lefttheirnets, andfollowedhim.

21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, Jamesthe sonofZebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and hecalledthem.

22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

3)Do some actions while I read the story

4)“Peter and Andrew earned their living by catching fish. One day as they cast their nets into the Sea of Galilee(cast nets) they saw Jesus of Nazareth. They heard Him say(put hand to ear), “Follow me.” Even though Peter and Andrew were in the middle of their work(pull nets), they immediately left their nets(drop nets), and followed Him(walk in place). James and John were in another ship mending their nets(fix nets). Jesus called to them, so they left their nets and followed Him(walk in place).”

5)What did the apostles do when Jesus asked them to follow him?

6)Do some activities, have the kids stop and say “follow me” and then have a child say how they can follow Jesus Christ.

7)Who are other people you could follow?

a)Friends

b)Superheros

c)People on TV

8)Will those people make down the path you want to go?

9)When you are folowing someone else, ask yourself if they are leading where you want to go.

10)Finish with Come Follow Me

Come Follow Me: Sr Primary

1)Review the pathway from week 2.

a)Who made it possible to get back to Heavenly Father?

b)How did they follow Jesus Christ in the last week?

c)What are some other ways you can follow Jesus Christ.

2)Who are other people you might choose the follow?

3)Are they going the way you want to go?

4)Let’s watch some videos to see how following worked out for some people. (video is of some Youtube Car Crashes, and can be found here.

5)Were those people that were leading the way the other drivers wanted to go?

6)Let’s read a scripture

7)Matthew 4:18-22 (see Jr Primary)

8)Let’s play the story game, every time I say RRR you’ll throw the beanbag to someone else and they’ll take off where you are in the story

a)Peter and Andrew were fishermen

b)One day they were casting their nets on the Sea of Galilee and they saw Jesus

c)They heard him say “Come Follow Me”

d)Even though they were in the middle of their work

e)They immediately dropped their nets and followed him.

9)Do you like having to drop something when your mom calls to do what she’s asked?

10)Do you think it was easy for Peter and Andrew to stop their work and do what Jesus asked

11)What did Peter and Andrew risk by stopping their work?

a)It was their living, they might starve

b)They just left their boat, which is how they made money to go follow them

c)They knew had to fish, they had no idea what “following him” might entail.
